Jim:
As you probably know I've been on at least three extended trips with my '62 car, with the stroker engine and dual quads. Rear end is 3.36 posi.
On the initial trip I was mostly on the freeway and was averaging 12.8 MPG. I had hundreds of pounds of books, clothes and such for a one month visit. Last year's trip to Norwalk I brought my buddy James and a bunch of spare parts and I think we ran around 12 MPG. That's with stock 14" wheels and tires.
I try not to check it around town, might get bummed out. I rarely hit the second carb when cruising, but around town I somehow get into it on the back roads. Did that today for a bit... Made me feel better about not being in Bowling Green this past weekend
.
Cheers!
